need this pool. I am doing remarkably well because of the workout that I get from going to water
aerobics 3 days a week. Without this pool we will have to leave this great island"
. "Currently, there is an exploratory committee that is investigating the need and support for a
Regional Parks and Recreation District. I would like to hear/know the County's position (each
Commissioner) on supporting a Regional Parks and Recreation District (which would include a
pool)."
. "At present, the only public pool in the County is the Port Townsend pool. It is my understanding

that in the past the County has supported the pool financially, however, has withdrawn that support.
In my morning pool exercise group (20 people), at least 30% of us come from outside the city,
While we pay somewhat higher fees to use the pool, pool fees cover, at best, 50% of the cost of the
pool. Please explain the County's position"

MISCELLANEOUS

. "To Judy M,: 1) Why does B of A offer these services without any investments? What are their
charges?; 2) Does Kitsap or First Federal offer the same services? If so, what do they charge?"

Works do the same?"
